iW bloggers/film bloggers & friends informal gathering event planning in progress - Thu 8/23 night is event date

iW's Eugene H. got in touch today about the post I made several days ago re: doing a live meeting of some or most of the bloggers who post at iW's blogs page (and other film/indie film bloggers in NYC who are interested in meeting up, and friends, of course - a group hangout event built around at least a few of the iW bloggers core is basically the plan).

Here's the latest re: the event:

Date - Thursday, August 23 (let us know if this is a good day iW bloggers)

Time of Day: night, exact start time to be determined - 9 PM?

Place: tbd, Eug. suggests a bar, & the event to begin after the Apple Store SoHo event re: Generation DIY screening series happening that night. Suggest some possible bars iW bloggers - I guess a place close to Apple Store SoHo would be good.

More info. coming soon, obviously

Looking forward to meeting up w/ some iW bloggers & friends. And of course hanging out in the "recently liberated for indie, DIY, & amature filmmaking & tourist photography :)" city of New York.

Leave a comment re: these plans iW bloggers, if u r interested in this event - thanks!

Notes to filmmakers, distributors & other interested folks - this event might be a chance to meet some of your favorite indie film bloggers in a casual setting. I am sure at least a couple of these people can be talked or bribed into writing repeatedly, endlessly about your project (specially if it is awesome) for months to come :)

Let's take a closer look at Mike Tully's negative review of IFBRT & see if we can clarify some things

Mike Tully (presently inactive filmmaker who is not a fan of shooting on DV, who is now running things - as far as I know - at the review site Hammer to Nail, who also blogs at indieWIRE, & who wrote a brief & positive review of Date Number One in '06, & a fellow Marylander who generally seems like a cool dude) attended the World Premiere of Indie Film Blogger Road Trip and wrote a review of the doc . There are several items in that review that I'd like to comment on. So here we go: "At its best, Sujewa Ekanayake’s Indie Film Blogger Road Trip is certain to go down as one of the more bizarre time capsules of life on early-21st Century Earth." Cool - life on Earth in early 21st century - right now - is pretty bizarre, so a film dealing with a new, early-21st Century thing like film blogging/a film blogging community, should reflect that reality. The doc, however, is very simple & conventional in its form & content (shots of people talking). It is i

This is no way to write a movie review

Cynthia Rockwell's "review" of Hannah Takes The Stairs is depressing not because she didn't like the movie but because after reading the entire thing, 6 small to medium sized paragraphs, I can't figure out the following: the plot of the movie or the situation or roughly what happens for 70 - 90 minutes, the main characters & any significant minor characters, who plays the characters, ideas that may have been expressed in the movie, similar ideas and situations that may have been explored in other movies or other art/entertainment and how those compare with the film being reviewed, the reviewer's opinion of the technical craftsmanship of the movie, how real life compares to the world being depicted in the movie. At the very least I would like to learn a few of those things about a movie from a review. (and yes, Rockwell does consider her post re: Hannah a review, as noted here , not just a blog entry reflecting on the lack of female participation in indie
